<pre>
    Compiling for arm with and without optimization gets different sections for the initialized static variable myvar:

Unexpected section:

clang --target=thumbv7em-unknown-none-eabi -O1 -c main.c
llvm-objdump.exe .\main.o –t
-       shows that the static initialized variable myvar is in section .bss instead of section .data.myvar as expected:
-   00000004 l     O .bss   00000001 myvar

Expected (correct) section without optimization (level 0):

clang --target=thumbv7em-unknown-none-eabi -O0 -c main.c
llvm-objdump.exe .\main.o –t
-       shows that the static initialized variable myvar is in section .data.myvar instead of section .data as expected:
-   00000000 l     O .data_myvar    00000004 myvar
